Measurement for IFS Truss

Ok, I found a thread where rocket was asking for folks to measure their second gens https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f31/...request-66868/.

Mine is an '87. I see that companies (downey, tc) offer two different trusses, based on year, i.e. 86-88, or 89-95. Most guys seem to measure 17".
Mine is 17-3/16" Is everyone else measuring 17" on their 1st gen?
Nothing looks bent, the drop-down arms look solid at the welds, etc.

Any suggestions on how I should bring the arms in to meet the 17"?

Technically, mine is 16-15/16" or 17" with a hammer fit.

Mines been anywhere from 17-1/16" to 16-3/4". Man, I needs ta get that brace in there.

Oh, a come-along will do. I got a 5 ton mothergrabber/frame staightener model. Hell of a tool that.

sonoran steel makes a very nice front truss as well, i have had one in for the past year and it works very nice! very stout, ive given it a workout in the rocks, i think its a much better unit.
